Yes, we all know you have got this all singing and dancing compiler with ISO 
modules (sounding bored).  Would it be too much to ask to tell us where to 
get a specification of the standard modules.  I have tried to reach you 
through eMail, but to no avail.  In a previous posting you mentioned nine or 
15 *standard* modules.

Spare a thought for those who are not using your latest and greatest 
compiler or who (like us) have implemented an own compiler and would like 
to enhance it.
